    Four complex, authentic and relateable female characters make this piece memorable and moving. Zaffarano blends humor and heart into a story of grief and family ties that feels both familiar and surprising.

    This is an epic piece and the writer is up to the task. There's humor, depth, and a strong balance of realism and myth. The writing is imaginative and the dialogue is incredibly strong. It came together in a really genius way when the women began to work through their monologues simultaneously.

    A fascinating piece about art and love, with beautiful theatrical moments that I would love to see in production! The flower arranging scene was particularly memorable.

    These characters are comples and authentic, and each has their own distinct journey in this beautiful piece about love, loss, and personal growth. The evolving relationship between Jessie and Lenny is particularly moving.

    Four aspects of a soul journey through the past on their way to the afterlife in this subtle but powerful piece. Plainspokenness takes on a lyrical quality in their overlapping and sometimes contradictory dialogue, as they choose what to remember and how to remember it. There are many exciting possibilities here for a director and designer to explore, and it would be a rewarding challenge for a strong female ensemble cast.

  • Bridget Erin: United Nathans by Jason Sherman
    “

    This play is intense and thought-provoking, weaving back and forth through time with moments of humor that provide a welcome (if brief) break from the intensity. You'll feel as though you truly know each of these Nathans by the end, and yet the story takes several surprising turns.

    This play has humor, tension, absurdity and depth...just as a Passover Seder should.

  • Bridget Erin: Goodnight Embryos by Maureen McGranaghan

    Making decisions about family size is difficult for many people, but this play addresses the topic in a way we don't often see. I enjoyed reading this story of a complex relationship between two women who love each other deeply but must navigate a complicated situation in which there are no clear right answers.

    If you like The Wolves, you should read this sports-centered story of friendship and young women coming of age. The dialogue is sharp and there are great moments of humor. The characters feel very real and bringing this play to life would be a dream for the right director and actors.
